    Subjectaic79xx bug? my stupidity?
    Date
    I'm not sure to whom I should be addressing this, but it seems that
    Justin Gibbs is one of those people.


    I've been trying to get the aic79xx driver working in 2.4.19 without success.
    I'll clarify:

    I've extracted the source tarfile into the kernel dist directory, config'd the
    module to build, built it, installed it, etc.

    I've gotten far enough that I can get the kernel to boot with it, and it seems
    to see the controller, however, I cannot get it to find the root partition.

    I have had success using redhat and the driver diskette.
    The hardware is an aic7902, integrated onto a Supermicro X5DA8.


    From what I could find on the archives, it seemed like a patch might be
    needed to get a vanilla kernel up&running with the aic79xx driver. Is this
    right? If so, where might that patch be?

    I have more questions and possibly a bug, but would like to find the proper
    people to speak with before burdening the list with tons of data.
